An instrument head is provided for attachment to a plurality of instrument handles having different power profiles. The instrument head contains an illumination assembly including at least one LED as well as a drive circuit for detecting a power profile of an attached instrument handle and converting variable voltages received from the attached instrument handle to a constant current for powering the at least one LED based on the power profile. Accordingly, the instrument head enables use with a plurality of instrument handles, including those originally configured for use only with incandescent light sources.

Physical assessment device

A low-cost blood pressure cuff includes a bladder assembly comprised of a flexible inner layer of a first material and a flexible outer layer of a second material. The first and second materials are weldable to each other. A top sheet has a first portion that overlies the outer layer and a tail portion extending longitudinally from the first portion. The third portion is comprised of a third material that is not weldable to itself. A perimetric bladder weld joint joining the inner layer, the outer layer, and the top sheet to each other. An enhanced embodiment of the cuff includes a bottom sheet having at least a first portion which underlies the inner layer and which is comprised of a fourth material which is not weldable to itself. The bladder weld joint extends into the bottom sheet thereby joining the bottom sheet to at least the inner layer.

Economical, environmentally friendly, disposable blood pressure cuffs and method of manufacturing

A therapeutic wrap includes a flexible member configured to wrap around an affected area. Actuators are operably coupled to the flexible member. Each actuator is operable between a deployed state and a non-deployed state. A first coupling feature is disposed proximate a first edge on a first surface of the flexible member. A second coupling feature is disposed proximate a second edge on a second surface of the flexible member. The first coupling feature is configured to engage the second coupling feature when the flexible member is wrapped around the affected area and when the flexible member is slidably adjusted relative to the affected area. A retaining feature is coupled to at least one end of the flexible member and configured to retain the flexible member in a selected position on the affected area.

Health management system

A male bayonet connector includes a first shaft having a first distal end portion having a first sealing surface configured to form a substantially fluid-tight seal with a female connector, a first proximal end portion opposite the first distal end portion, a first lumen extending substantially along a first longitudinal axis of the first shaft from the first distal end portion to the first proximal end portion, and a first channel formed on an outer surface of the first shaft between the first sealing surface and the first proximal end portion. The first channel at least partially extends circumferentially around the first longitudinal axis. The first channel is also defined by a first distal wall, a first proximal wall opposite the first distal wall, and a first central region extending from the first distal wall to the first proximal wall. The first distal wall includes a first axial length that is at least one of curved or at an acute angle relative to the first longitudinal axis.

Connector for medical equipment

A blood pressure cuff is defined by a first sheet, having an opening, and a second sheet. The second sheet is attached to a bottom of the first sheet to form an interior inflatable portion between the first sheet and the second sheet, with the opening of the first sheet fluidly interconnecting the interior inflatable portion with an exterior of the cuff. The blood pressure cuff is made from a single type of material and can be recycled, biodegradable, or composted.

Recyclable or biodegradable blood pressure cuff

A medical device includes a handle portion downwardly extending from an examination portion. The handle portion has opposing upper and lower open ends and a through cavity extending therebetween. An illumination assembly mounted within the open upper end of cavity includes a housing, at least one battery disposed within the housing, and an LED disposed at the distal end of an arm extending from the housing. The housing is mounted through the open upper end of the through cavity. According to at least one version, the at least one battery can be removed without removing the housing from the handle portion. The extending arm is supported by the examination portion and configured to provide illumination to a medical target. The medical device can include a vaginal speculum, sigmoidoscope, laryngoscope, anoscope, or other hand-held medical device.

Integrated illumination assembly for handheld medical devices

An accessory that is attachable to a device comprises an image sensor and a beam splitter having a first surface and a second surface. The beam splitter is configured to impinge light upon the first surface, and split the light impinging upon the first surface into at least a first beam, a second beam, and a third beam. The first beam travels from a first opening of the device to a second opening of the device along an optical path when the accessory is attached to the device, the second beam travels from the first surface to the image sensor, and the third beam travels from the second surface to the image sensor or a beam dump.

Configuring optical light path having beam overlap on image sensor

A blood pressure cuff includes a smaller patient bladder extending laterally across the cuff and longitudinally along a minor portion of second and fourth perimeter segments of the cuff. The cuff also includes a larger patient bladder extending laterally across the cuff and longitudinally along a major portion of the second and fourth perimeter segments of the cuff. The smaller patient bladder and the larger patient bladder are fluidically isolated from each other. A small patient port projects through the smaller patient bladder on a first side of the cuff. A large patient port projects through the larger patient bladder on a second side of the cuff which is transversely opposite the first side.

Reversible blood pressure measurement cuff and manufacturing method therefor

An adapter includes a substantially rigid body having a distal portion, a proximal portion, a central opening formed at least in part by an inner wall of the body, and a longitudinal axis extending substantially centrally through the opening. The distal portion includes an annular ring having a top surface and a ridge disposed opposite the top surface, the ridge extending substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The distal. The adapter also includes a seal configured to form a substantially fluid-tight seal with a surface of a fitting removably attachable to the adapter.

Connectors for medical equipment

A patient monitoring device includes a signal transmission device configured to direct a signal transmission toward a target area and to receive reflected signals from the target area, and a signal analysis device having a processing device and at least one non-transitory computer readable data storage device storing instructions, that when executed by the processing device, cause the patient monitoring device to transmit signals, receive reflected signals, and determine a non-contact vital sign measurement based on data from the reflected signals.

Vital sign detection and measurement

A skin measuring microscope includes a housing, an electronic imager disposed along an imaging axis, and an illumination system. The illumination system includes a plurality of LEDs disposed in a ring-like configuration adjacent a distal end of the housing.

Digital-based medical devices

A medical diagnostic instrument or a plurality of disparate medical diagnostic instruments are configured with a common optical architecture that functionally creates a virtual eye to create closer proximity to a patient and therefore increase the field of view in regard to a target of interest. The optical system includes a distal optical element, at least one relay lens and an eyepiece lens in which the optical system can be integrated within at least one instrument or be provided using a releasable module. Additionally, at least one of a viewing assembly and illumination assembly of at least one medical diagnostic instrument can be assembled using a series of components that are connected by interlocking features.
